Interpretation:
Each of the given product is to be synthesized from cyclopentanol and necessary organic or inorganic reagents.
Concept introduction:
Alcohols can be prepared from a variety of reagents.
Reaction of Grignard reagents with carbonyl compounds produces the corresponding alcohols.
Grignard reagents also react with oxiranes to produce alcohols.
The allylic and benzylic carbon atoms are selectively brominated using NBS reagent.
Alcohols undergo dehydration in acidic medium, producing alkenes. These alkenes can be converted to diols using osmium tetra oxide.

Synthesis of the given diol from cyclopentanol.
The structure for the given diol is as follows:
In the given diol, one phenyl ring and one hydroxyl group are attached to the same carbon of cyclopentane ring. The other hydroxyl group is attached to C2 position of cyclopentane ring.
Oxidation of the cyclopentanol will produce cyclopentanone. Reaction of this cyclopentanone with phenyl magnesium bromide will form a tertiary alcohol. Acid catalyzed dehydration of this tertiary alcohol will produce

Synthesis of
The structure for cyclopentanol and
Cyclopentanol, when undergoes oxidation in presence of a mild oxidizing agent such as pyridinium chlorochromate in dichlormethane, the hydroxyl group turns to a carbonyl group and forms cyclopentanone. Cyclopentanone, when treated with Grignard reagent (PhMgBr) in the presence of diethyl ether with acidic workup, forms
